it would still be totally worth it. I'd rather pay for some exploration than for a tank that may or may not accidentally destroy someone's home in the middle east. | ||

Keep in mind that signal strengh goes down as the square of the distance travelled. Until it gets cleaned up and establishes a stronger connection, boots up everything etc, we aren't going to see any really good images. | ||
